These shipping companies, such as Lauritzen, Salén, Seatrade, Star Reefers, and NYK Reefer, developed the dedicated transport of refrigerated products like meat, fish, and fruit by ship, from the early 20th century to the present. Snow in the Tropics describes how the history of the reefer operators has been formed in relation to shippers, such as Dole and Chiquita, in a constant struggle with the liner companies, such as Maersk, and in relation to global economic and political trends. It also covers how the industry is discursively constructed and the psychological drivers of the business decisions in it. 606 $aRefrigerated transport$zTropics$xHistory 606 $aShipping companies (Marine transportation)$zTropics 610 $aMaritime history 615 0$aRefrigerated transport$xHistory. 615 0$aShipping companies (Marine transportation) 676 $a387.5/44 700 $aLennerfors$b Thomas Taro$0944915 702 $aBirch$b Peter$f1970- 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367617603321 996 $aSnow in the Tropics$92133272 997 $aUNINA
